EVO 4G Release Date
Well, it looks like the Sprint HTC EVO 4G will be available on June 4th. I confirmed the date on the Sprint site, just to make damn sure. The retail price is listed at $199.99 with a 2-year agreement (after mail-in rebate).
The 4G service will be kickass, but note that it will be available in limited areas. The EVO 4G supports 3G too, but that is like driving a sports car around town in 1st gear. Below are the 4G cities announced to date. What? No 4G planned for our area!
